The Israeli violinist Guy Braunstein is releasing ‘Blackbird – Six Variations on a Theme of John Lennon & Paul McCartney for Solo Violin’ on Youtube tonight.

Along with publishing free sheet music, Braunstein is calling on fellow violinists to join his “Blackbird Challenge” by adding their variations to his own.

In June, Braunstein will release an Abbey Road Concerto. Braunstein, 53, left the Berlin Phil in 2013 to focus on a solo career.
